FPR 1-2! Gutz Grabs Win Two!

Through much of the race it looked like we would have a repeat winner, but at the end it was not the man that we had expected. Chris Gutierrez held steady through the late race carnage to grab victory over Ford Performance Racing teammate Stephen Taylor. Stephen Laarkamp salvaged points in third tonight, while Markus Gjesdal brought home his best career result of fourth. Joe Burchett rounded out the top 5. Tire wear played a major factor later in the race. Taylor and Gjesdal both got caught out in the middle of the show. With his victory Chris Gutierrez jumps to the points lead by fifteen over Stephen Laarkamp. Stephen Taylor jumps to third, while Rick Music falls back to fourth. Music had a tough go of it, getting caught up in an accident with Connor Harrington. The race was slowed by six cautions for twenty four laps. Five drivers lead, with nineteen lead changes. Jonathan Goke lead the most laps at 46, followed by Connor Harrington and Chris Gutierrez with 20 and 11 respectively. In the Teams Championship Ford Performance Racing stretched out a huge lead, now sitting 145 points ahead of BMWC, and 150 points ahead of Black Hole Motorsports. In the Manufacturers Standings Honda extends their points lead to 19 over Ford, and 44 over Chevrolet. The tour heads to Watkins Glen next week for the TrueCar Watkins Glen Indy.
